In December Johnnie Johnson Housing launched their new neighbourhood apartments at three of their independent living schemes across North Manchester. The first of its kind for JJH, the initiative will help to reduce bed blocking by providing an alternative option to hospital by either allowing patients to move out quicker or not having to go into hospital at all. Working in partnership with North Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups and Manchester Council Adult Services team, the apartments have had eight residents stay since the autumn launch.

Astraline opened their doors in December to showcase our services and build links with the local community. The event held on 7th December, gave practical advice and product demonstrations to increase awareness of their newly enhanced product and service offering.

We are pleased to announce that as of Thursday 1 February, we will be changing our repairs contractor. This will be a partnership between Johnnie Johnson Housing and Equity Housing Group and we will work alongside the newly selected supplier, Kier to provide these services to you.

Johnnie Johnson Housing and Equity Housing Group have recently completed a number of joint workshop sessions with residents, where it was clear from feedback received that residents felt that the repairs service was a key area for improvement.

Initially, the new service will only roll out within our North West and Yorkshire and Derbyshire regions.

Johnnie Johnson Housing want to bring a number of influential people from across the housing, health, academic and government sectors into one room to discuss the challenges that we face and how we can work collaboratively together to provide innovative solutions in the delivery of services.
